In 1982 Little Milton called him Little Luther Vandross

He came up singing gospel at the age of 13 with a small

group called The Sensational Five and with them traveled to

citirs in the midwest: like Detroit, Michigan and Chicago,

Illinois, jest to mention a few.

Then he moved on to other groups like the Perryman

Brother, Sunset Jubilee, and the Mobile soul stirrers along

with Singing Sons, all of which where from Mobile, Alabama;

and also The Dynamic Couselors of Detroit, Michigan.

In 1984 he started a group called U-Can't Touch This

saying I've been heavily inspired by great singers of the
